John Ficarra, the editor of MAD, will be on CBS Sunday Morning tomorrow morning. He'll be discussing, I'm assuming, the state of political satire in magazines or something connected to the Charlie Hebdo killings. The note I got from John said, "There's always a chance I could get bumped. The producer was hoping to get footage of a squirrel on tiny water skis…"
I still have nothing to say about the Charlie Hebdo matter beyond the obvious things that everyone in the comedy and humor community is saying. I agree with just about anyone who isn't in hysterics about this and maybe even with a few who are.
Also on CBS Sunday Morning, there's to be a segment on Dean Kamen, the inventor who gave us the Segway and many other neat things. My love of synchronicity forces me to mention that he is the son of the late comic book artist Jack Kamen, who worked extensively for EC Comics and even contributed briefly to MAD, back when that firm published it.
